Famotidine Tablets

Famotidine is a prescription-only medicine used to reduce excess stomach acid. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as acid reflux and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), helping to relieve symptoms like heartburn and indigestion.

How Famotidine Works

🛡️ Famotidine works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces. It blocks signals that tell your stomach to make acid, which helps: soothe irritation in the stomach and food pipe, reduce heartburn and reflux symptoms, allow acid-related irritation to heal

Usual Dose

⏱️ The usual dose is: 20 mg once or twice daily, or 40 mg once daily, as advised by your prescriber

Always take famotidine exactly as prescribed for you.

Why Choose Famotidine?

⭐ Compared to simple antacids, famotidine offers longer-lasting relief:

🔁 Can be taken once or twice daily depending on symptoms
⚖️ A reliable alternative to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)
🧪 Generally well tolerated by most people
💊 Low risk of interactions with other medicines

Important Information

⚠️ Speak to a healthcare professional if your symptoms: do not improve or get worse, or are accompanied by unexplained weight loss, difficulty swallowing, or bleeding

🌿 Lifestyle changes can also help reduce symptoms, including: managing weight, adjusting diet, reducing alcohol, stopping smoking, raising the head of the bed at night
